Whispers again

I would take Okafor for reasonable trade with Philly. I mention him early this season with Nurk. He be good backup for Nurk and he would help the 2nd unit in the scoring department.

 

I'd be perfectly happy if you're right and I'm wrong, since that would mean better things for the Blazers.

I don't emotionally invest in being right, I just try to hold as informed an opinion as I can and try to adjust my outlook based on new developments. I've been wrong plenty of times, over more consequential things--like whether Trump would win the election, for example. I don't consider my viewpoints to be infallible. Right now, the facts (Crabbe's production and his salary) and my interpretation of his skillset lead me to believe that he's a below-market-value asset.

 

I think: Thanks for thinking of us, but no thank you. Click.

 

Absolutely

 

These days, that qualifies as not only a "sauce", but a rumor. Sad.

 

Nothing more on Okafor. However, one very direct question was met with a complete lack of response and in the passed, that has sometimes meant something they won't comment on. Since they answered everything else, it was at least curious in it's omission.

 

And what was that question?

 

Really gotta tease that? What was your question?

 

Sorry....swamped this afternoon and trying to get/give updates in between meetings.

I questions about 4 different players....met with varying vague response. I asked directly about interest with Okafor and they pretended as if they hadn't heard me.

 

You need to enunciate your consonants and vowels better.

 

Still confused about interest in Jah.I mean, there's something to be said about zagging when the league is zigging, but an Okafor and Nurkic front court is just a nightmare waiting to happen space wise

 

It's not a long term solution.

 

Zach Lowe and Stein today on Zach's pod wondered where Philly can trade Okafor, said "NO is gone, POR is gone, maybe BOS"

 

I didn't hear you.

 

I'm kind of intrigued. Nurk on one block. Jah on the other. My worry is more defensively

 

Stein also said the POR was trying and trying and trying unsuccessfully to get Tyson Chandler

 

goooooood

 

Thank God.

 

Probably 1 for 1 swap for meyers

 

Nurkic seems to play with a lot of energy. My guess is he can last about 28 minutes MAX playing that way.
As I have said before in this thread, we need multiple centers. These guys are not playing 82 games a year. Play them each 24 minutes per game on most nights and maybe occasionally 4-6 minutes together if the match ups allow it.
